Description

  • Content Description: Tradescantia spp., commonly known as Tradescantia or Spiderwort, is a stunning group of perennials native to Texas (excluding Edwards Plateau and Blackland Prairie). These versatile plants add a burst of color to any garden with their multi-colored flowers and thrive in partial shade. With a height range of 1 to 3 feet and a spread of 2 feet, Tradescantia captivates with its deciduous foliage, starting from spring and lasting through fall. It serves as a valuable nectar source for insects, making it a favorite among pollinators. While being a fast-spreading plant, it requires low water needs and can be cut back in winter to promote increased blooming. Whether in flower beds or as ground cover, Tradescantia is a lively addition that adds vibrancy and charm to landscapes.
